Big Mound Regional Bank and Barber was an unassuming place, not the kind that seemed like it should stand out. It was remarkable only in that it you could get your hair cut while waiting in line for the teller. But today was different, for today the Wonder Bandits had come to Big Mound. Riding […]

The Forty-March Punch
What is the Forty-March Punch? That’s the question that’s gone through my mind for almost a year now. Everyone’s heard of it, but no one really knows what it is.
